TRIVIA (1)

QUOTES (12)

Lance Krall: A lot of the actors were sort of second-guessing like, the whole process of the whole thing, and then we realized that all the producers and writers were doing the same exact thing. So, I'm like, "Okay, we're all in the same boat here. So, how do we make this better?"

NOTES (5)

Information revealed by Matt in the Mo' Joe Schmo Show version of this episode:

Matt says that the was never embarrassed watching himself on TV before, until he started watching himself on this show.Matt feels that one of the reasons he didn't catch on was because he was always trying to justify things that didn't seem right.The show staff took the labels off the soda bottles in the house - no free advertising.Matt wonders if perhaps all of this attention after the show isn't just one more elaborate ruse.Matt says that people have said that he was just trying to get Ashleigh out because she said that he was like a brother to her, but the real reason was because she kept putting him in the middle of her drama.Matt's thoughts on the talent show: Jerri complains about the title, but once again she's playing the "bitch." He thinks Brian's xylophone playing is a "practical talent" that will get him a lot of chicks... not. When he saw Dr. Pat's skit, he thought "this is a doctor with problems." Although he pissed at Earl at the time for laughing during. Dr. Pat's skit, he understands why he was now. He thinks that they were all pretty lame - Molly hula-hooping with one hoop. He feels that if the competition wasn't fixed, he would have won and that he wished Kip had used magic to make Kip disappear.Looking back, Matt thinks that the producers handled the Earl situation really well.Waiting for Ralph to come in during the eviction ceremony just added to the tension.Matt was completely surprised that Earl would get any votes during the eviction ceremony. One by one, everyone at the ceremony started losing it, causing a chain reaction.

When Matt is talking with Ashleigh early in the episode and later when he conspires with some of the players to vote her out, "Taking the Bait" from The Mole can be heard playing in the background. Later, "Dirty Laundry," also from The Mole, plays when Kip does his bad magic act. Matt also said in one of his pop-up notes in the "Mo' Joe Schmo Show" version of this episode that some of the music playing during the eviction ceremony was from The Mole, but if it is, it's from one of the later versions and not a soundtrack piece.

The censors chose to censor "tits," but left other vulgarities such as "damn" and "bitch" intact. Also, at one point, the "god" in goddamn was censored, but damn was left intact and this was shown on close-captioning.
